As an event organizer, your attendees are your most important assets. Some internet-based ticketing services offer very attractive prices, but then they force your users to become also their users. Enter Alf.io, the open source event ticket system that allows you to self-host your own ticket reservation system for your events.

Privacy, the Swiss way

Privacy and data protection are our primary concerns, that's why self-hosting ensures that your data will be isolated, and neither accessible nor visible to people outside of your organization.

No vendor lock-in

If Alf.io isn't right for you in the future, you can export your data and move it elsewhere, and you are also free to move your Alf.io instance wherever you want.

Secure by design

Our team has more than 20 years of experience in building and deploying distributed applications. We're committed to make Alf.io a safe place for every event.

This image allows you to install and run a production-ready alf.io instance.

For production instances you should map your Droplet to a DNS address before logging in via SSH, as the very first operation will be the generation of the SSL certificate for your host / FQDN.

1. Create a DNS record for your droplet before logging in via SSH, as SSL certificates will be created for your hostname on first login

2. Connect to your droplet via SSH on ssh root@your_Droplet_FQDN

3. Follow the on-screen instruction and generate your SSL certificate

4. Wait until the Admin password has been generated. Then copy it.

5. Access the backoffice area of your instance: https:///admin

6. Log in with user admin and password as copied above

7. Finish setting up by filling in the required configuration, and enjoy alf.io!

Should you have any questions, please reach out to: - our mailing list if you have any questions regarding the configuration / usage of your instance - github issues if you find a bug or if you want to suggest a new feature. This image is built and managed by Swicket
